Orders have been given for building, in India, six small frigates for the Navy, on the plan of the old sloops of war, and mounting 32 guns each, The Liverpool, 50, Captain F. A. COLLIER, was expected to sail yesterday morning from Ports mouth for the East Indies, to relieve the Magi cienne, Capt. Puavis. The Liverpool, after the expiration of her three years' active service, will be laid up at Trincomalee as a guard-ship, and Capt. COLLIER, his officers, and crew, will bring home the Ganges, - 84, now building at Bombay. The Liverpool touches at the Mauritius, on her way to Trincomalee. She does not take the specie mentioned, from not being bound direct to Cal- cutta, whither it is consigned, for merchants there. Mr. EDYB, late or the dock-yard, at Pembroke, proceeds with Commissioner UPTON to Trincomalee, and thence to Cochin (on the Coromandel coast), for the purpose of Contracting (under the directions of the Commissioner) with the native builders there, for the build ing of six small frigates,, on the plan of our old sloops of war, with some improvements, to mount 32 guns each. Trincomalee is to be used only as a repairing yard. THE THEATRE. ' Precise, a London Magistrate (TERRY), a peculiar man, lodges with a Mrs. Codicil (Mrs. KENnaLL), who occasions his leaving her house by her introducing her friend, Mrs. Chubby (Mts. DaVENPoRr), and her son (ToKCLy), a kind of travelled burnpt:in, in a French dress, who came over front Boulogne to seek one old Mr. Feeble, a relation, with a view ti his will. Crafty (BaRNARv), a servant of Feeble, who is dead, keeps possession of the house, and wants to impose upon the relations a will made in his own favour. He therefore, for a time, keeps the house close against all whom he su spects. Interwoven with this story is the receipt of a letter by Precise from Lord Liquor's!) (RussELL), for the apprehen sion of a young lady, Miss Seymour (Miss MarynEws), who comes to an inn, by the stage, with Sophia Iphigenia Scribble (Mrs. Gi ins), a female author and poet. A request is also received to apprehend a person described as a foreigner.— Precise comes to the Inn about the time of the arrival of the parties, attended by his police officer, Townsend (J. Rus SELL). The Hon. Mr. flarebrain (JONES), Lord Liquorish's son, has followed Miss Seymour, and after getting her trunks into a hackney-coach, drives off with her, leaving the coach man; but an accident happening they are compelled to re turn, when old Lord Liqnorish (RUSSELL) himself appears in quest of Miss * , eymour,whorn he wishes to marry. The Justice, however, insists on his going on with' his charge against 1)(1., whiehhad occasioned herdetention LordHarebrain changes his French surtout with Peregrine Chubby, who is apprehended in stead of him. The villainy of Crafty is at last exposed by Lts- ToN, in the character of a drunken fellow-servant, and who knew of Feeble's death, and the contrivances of Crafty. The latter, after a variety of incidents and bustle, is apprehended, and all the parties are brought before old Precise, when it appears that Feeble left no will, and that Miss Seymour ins heiress at law, to the great confusion of Mrs. Codicil, Mrs. Chubby, and her son Perry. Lord Liqnorish consents to his son Harebrain's marriage with the heiress, and says as he is a Nobleman he will marry by proxy. Crafty is to he punished. The play takes its name from the frequent changes in the occupation of old Feeble's house. The Plot of this Play is sufficiently complicated to excite eurin.:ity and interest. The dialogue is 'lively, and the characters various. The• same hustle and ludicrorp: humour which mark the former efforts of this Author appear on the pre sent occasion, but not quite to so original and entertaining an extent. The piece, however, is a good addition to the stock of summer amusement, and is so well cast in the performance that we have no daub; that it will be repeated with suc cess throughout the season.—There were two glaring errors in the conduct of the plot. The crafty servant, who keeps possession, and will suffer no one to enter his door but his agent and tool, stands in the street to read letters, and leaves the door open all the time, though he is every moment in fear of visitors that may frustrate his villainy ; and the young Lady, while in danger of pursuit, and of course anxious for a shelter, in dulges herself in singing a song in the open street. These are errors easily repaired. The character of Sophia Iphigenirz Scribble; a female author, has not sufficient novelty to excite much interest, but was very well supported by Mrs.Gtsas. The Author is iudeed much indebted to the whole of the Per formers. Nothing could be more ludicrous than LISTON. TERRY, JONES, TOKELY, BARNARD, RUSSELL, and J. RUSSELL, severally gave strong support to the Piece. The last fully justifies the favourable account we before gave of him. Tire House was crowded, and the new Piece altoge ther very well received. Our chief English Syren, Miss STEPHENS, is engaged to perform in Ireland during the summer vacation in London. She is to petform for a certain number of nights at Cork, where she is to be met by hIORNr as her vocal Coadjutor. PARMA, N s.—(official Article )—Her Ma jesty, our August Sovereign, was pleased to re ceive at a pubFc audience, surrounded by • her whole Court, at two o'clock, on the I Ith of this month, his Excellency the Lord Burghers!), Envoy Extraurdinary mad Minister Plenipoteniary of his Majesty the King of the Unite() Kingdom of Great Britain , Ind Ireland to severlii of the Italian Courts, and now actually accredited to that of Parma. His Excellency was presented at the au dience to her Majesty by his Excellency the Count Neipperg, her Majesty's first Gentleman of the Bed-chamber,and Minister of State,and had the ho: pour to present his credentials into her Majesty's • own hands, and to notify from his Royal High ness the Prince Regent of England, the marriage which had been celebrated at Carlton House be tween her Royal Highness the Princess Elizabeth and, his Serene Highness the Prince of Hesse- Hombourg. The British Minister was conducted in the Court carriages, and attended by the Master of the Ceremonies, Count Marco, to the Ducal Palace. The same ceremony was observed on his return. A Court dinner followed in the evening, which was attended by his Lordship. The following is an extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, dated May 23 : Your vessel, the Jupiter, arrived safe here on the 20th inst. but I am sorry to inform you, she was boarded on her passage off Cape Francois, by a pirate bearing Mexican colours, and plundered of a considerable quantity of goods. A vessel under Swedish colours, which arrived here on the 21st, met with the same fate. Our seas are in fact infested with these villains, and it is high time representatio n were made to th e Ad m i ra l ty on the subject, since it appears these pirates re spect the English Hag as little as they do that of any other country. The office that was temporarily established for the examination of the outstanding accounts for the Transport service has been discontinued, in consequence of all the business being completed ; and the Hon. Captain BOYLE, who conducted the same, has returned to the superintendance of the Dock-yard at Sheerness. The nett , Comedy of Three Acts, entitled Nine Points of the Lai b, or Possession, which was brought for►eard on Saturday at the Haymat het Theatre, is ascribed to the pen of Mr. JAIVIssoN, author• of Exit by Mistake, and Teozing made Easy. The fol • lowing- Is an outline of the fable:— A SHIP BURNT AT SEA: A New York Paper of the 16th nit. says— " The brig Poacher, Captain Maecoest, arrived at Boston on Wednesday, in fifty-five thys front Liverpool, Via fl'ayal, and furnishes the following retail of the loss of the Solon, by lightning : " April 25th, tell in with the ship Solon, Stod dart, front London for New York, with hemp, dry goods, copper, &c. which had been struck with lightning the evening previous and set on fire, in lat, 40 16. long. 27. then twenty days out. Took off the passengers, twenty-seven in number, and crew, amounting in all to thirty eight, and shortly after the fire burst through the deck, and we saw the masts go over the side.— The tollowiug account of the disaster, furnished by a passenger, agrees with the minutes made on the log-book, with which we have also been fa voured O the 27th of April, at nine o'clock, P. M. a body of lightning struck the ship, attend ed by a singular explosion, disordering every thing in its passage down the mainmast ; the Captain, with many others on the upper deck, were at once knocked down. On the middle deck the same effect was produced, yet in either case no lives were lost. immediately columns of smoke rose from the hold through every aperture; and such was the strength of the devouring matter, that it must at the same instant have set fire to every part of the cargo which was liable to take fire from it. In this emergency the thickness of the smoke became such as to prevent further respiration. All rushed on deck in confusion—the lightning still bursting forth, so that the whole sea appeared like a fur nace. Here was one of the most distressing scenes that ever was witnessed ; the most part of the people half naked, and it being impracticable to return for their clothes, and with no more of the necessaries of life than would be re quired for about two days' subsistence.— lu this state we continued till' next day about eleven o'clock, when the brig Poacher, Cap tain Malcolm, appeared in sight, and ultimately saved our lives. The last boat had scarcely reached the brig when the Solon's mizen-mast fell by the hoard, and the main-mast followed its about half an hour after. At this time the limes had burst out in every direction, so that Pio. vidence had sent this vessel to our aid at a most critical moment. So great a number of persons be ing added to those already on board the Poacher, she having before seven passengers, it became ne cessary to mike for the Western Islands, for wa ter and provisions. We arrived at F'ayal on the Ist of May, where every attention was paid to our wants by Mr. Darney, the American Consul, end other persons, particularly Messrs. Searle, Parker, Bayley, and Correa.'—Three of the So. lon's passengers here went on hoard the ship Norfolk, for London ; seven of the passengers and crew on board the schooner Prudence, Legget, for Halifax ; and the remainder base arrived at this port iu the Poacher. We understand that the Solon bad on hoard a cargo valued at nearly 200,0001. including about 90,000/. worth of drugs. She was a fine ship, newly coppered.", CORN MARKET, Sic.

WORCESTER, JULY 17.—The prices are rather lower, the average being now from 201 to 221. A letter from the neighbourhood of Leominster says that the hops continue to grow, and are re markably clean ; indeed where the bine is strong there is every prospect of a fair crop ; in some places the bine is so weak, that little produce can be expected. Most Affecting and Mtisterious Case.—We rejoice to announce that another individual has been rescued from an ignominious death by the benevolent interposition of those friends to hu manity, the Honourable Mr. BENNET and Alder. man WooD, under the following circumstances : In March last, as the above Gentlemen were in vestigating the case of the boys KELLY and SPICER, a young man, named Gao. MATTHEWS, who was then recently convicted of a capital offence, for rob bing his master, addressed them; and, from the com munications he made, they were impressed with an idea of his innocence ; whereupon Mr. Alderman Wool) undertook to investigate the mysterious transaction, and be devoted several days in exa mining various persons acquainted with facts Con nected with the young man's case, and the 'result decidedly proved his innocence. Upon this, Alderman WOOD had all th►e evidence collect ed, and a memorial prepared and laid before Lord SIDMOUTH. The unfortunate lad remained confined in irons in the condemned cells, mixed with felons of the worst description, tor nearly three months, until the worthy Alderman, at his own risk, ordered his irons to be taken off, and he was removed to another part of the prison, and placed among a better class of prisoners.— Thus had this young man, though ultimately prov ed innocent, and with the best of characters from all the respectable families where he had lived, been tried, sentenced to die, and confined in the prison of Newgate near seven months, when on. the Recorder's making his last Report, a day or tw o since, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent was most graciously pleased to grant him a tree. pardon.--(Sunday Paper.) ber OW ci' tes' praV Y eg' ra '0 4.1.
